It all goes back to "Don't you worry your pretty little head about it."

Girls can't do math so let's not bother teaching it to them. We'll teach them home economics instead, so they can be good little housewives and mothers.

I remember a girl who wanted to do something other than home ec. Industrial arts. NOT FOR GIRLS. I hope she found a better school, she left ours.
